Le Marche, a land yet to be discovered. We are welcomed by Pesaro, the city of Gioachino Rossini to whom the National Museum is dedicated and beyond. We continue inland to savor the emotions hidden in the small villages where music will come to life in the small theatres, true architectural jewels.
From San Lorenzo in Campo to Mondavio and Urbino, the city of Raffaello, on the tour of the land of a hundred theaters we will move through history, art, concerts and inevitable tastings to fully savor the tastes offered by this region in the heart of Italy.

Breakfast in hotel.
Morning: Departure to San Lorenzo in Campo by bus - 45 km from Pesaro - among the colorful hills of the Marche region, in the valley of the Cesano river. The birth of the inhabited center of San Lorenzo in Campo can be traced back to the nearby Roman city of Suasa, and to the phases linked to its abandonment. Between the eighth and the ninth century the monastic institutions recreated the conditions for a social revival of the territories, and around the ninth century the Benedictine Monastery led a reorganization of the valley with reclamation works and agricultural exploitation.The first inhabited settlements, born in the nearby of the monastery, turned soon into a real fortified village. Francesco Sforza and Sigismondo Malatesta alternate occupations followed one another. After that it was the time of Della Rovere and de’ Medici family until the Pope definitively restored its dominion. Visit of the Benedictine Abbey of San Lorenzo in Campo, a majestic Romanesque-Gothic building.

Afternoon: After lunch, departure to Mondavio (10 km) to visit Rocca Roveresca and the Teatro Apollo. Rocca Roveresca is one of the most typical and well-preserved defensive structures designed by the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini.

Morning: Departure to Urbino (36 km) by bus. Visit of the town by foot: Palazzo Ducale in Urbino is regarded as a symbol of Renaissance harmony despite the incorporation of existing medieval structures. The peculiarity of the Palace is the presence of two facades, due to the geographical position of Urbino, which lies on two hills: the facade with two towers - I Torricini - is on the side of the landscape while the facade of the entrance overlooks the square in the city center. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is the seat of the National Gallery of the Marche and it hosts two extremely famous paintings: La Flagellazione by Piero della Francesca and La Città Ideale by an unknown artist. The Studiolo del Duca, place of rest and contemplation to Federico di Montefeltro the soldier, is one of the most astonishing elements of the visit. We end with a visit to Teatro Raffaello Sanzio.
